Santa!

It was an awesome time with the kids- though the Legos marathon lasted a total of over 5 hours- Ben is in Legos bliss. Sophia was most excited by her new dolls, doll clthes, and bed. We went to Crown Center downtown to check out the Gingerbread display - we were so inspired last year that we are make our own house as a new family traditon. (The "roof" didn't make it, so it looks more like an adobe structure, but they had fun;)

Count Down

It's been so busy these past weeks- Ben lost his first tooth and turned six years old. He has been all about Legos, especially with his new ones. Sophia had her first Christmas concert and is all bout taking care of her babies. Now all we need is good snowfall and we'll be ready!

Happy Halloween!

It finally arrived and the kids were thrilled to be Little Red & Mummy Boy. Ben ran his first 1K in this weekend's Halloween Fun Run, too.
Have I mentioned that I LOVE autumn yet?!

Sweetness

Sophia was playing hide-n-seek and while I was looking for her, she actually fell asleep in my bed. This girl has not taken a nap since she turned three so it was an unexpected and a sweet reminder that our sassy girl is still our little girl.

MP Ball

This one is for you Mom...

Boy Joy

What could better than Star Wars day at the zoo and pumpkin guts? For this boy, not much. :)

Falling for Fall

With the weather changing, we are wearing jackets for the crisp mornings but getting to go barefoot in the late afternoon. The kids have enkjoyed several trips to farms with their friends. We found our first red maples this week on a "leaf walk"- so we are hoping this autumn's colors are amazzing. Bring on the leaf piles!!
